I got both... I think that Hyma camera takes better pictures. Is a software problem or the camera quality is better?
If is a software problem... what is a good camera software for the BA?
Thanx... M.
Everyone puts the crappy quality of HTC device's photos down to low quality lenses.
However, the preview in viewfinder mode looks excellent, but after the photo is taken the picture is rubbish, so obviously the lens and sensor are fine. Must be the software!

I love my Vario2, to an almost unhealthy degree, but the awful quality of pics taken with the camera is such a let down. I had a SE K750 with a 2mp camera and the quality of those snaps were amazing. Part of the reason I waited for the Vario 2 was so that I didn't have to trade down camera quality. It doesn't matter the lighting or settings I use - everything comes out in really bad quality
Is this a software thing or a hardware? Is there maybe a better camera application out there somewhere, or a way to modd it?
Any help appreciated!!!

bump - sorry I hate it when people do this.....
I thought the camera had bad quality at first--until I read the manual about the position of the little switch by the lens. One position is a macro zoom position for shooting extra close range shots. If the switch is in that position, normal pictures will look blurry.
Welll, having used my O2 Orbit to take some pictures outside recently (for the first time) I can only say I am disappointed with the results. Every photo appears to be blurred and out of focus around the outer edge of the photo. Is this the best I can expect of the built in camera? Or am I driving it wrongly? As far as I know, the settings are default and I am set for the best resolution. Is this how they are, or do I have a faulty one?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot.

The cameras on the Artemis are not brilliant, they should look ok on the phone, but on a PC they do usually end up blurry.
I'd say that it is normal, but you could play around with the settings to see if u can get a better pic. Sometimes the Multi-Shot setting is good for getting a non-blury picture, but it means you have to go through them all and choose the best one lol.
i have the same experience as u. i've been very dissapointed with the quallity of photos, even my 2 years old N6230i can make much more better pictures then this and after 5 months of using ORBIT i didn't find the way how to increase the quality. good luck
the only time i've had half decent photos, are in the middle of the day, outside, with the sun out (behind you) lol. The camera doesnt seem to like un-natural light (strip lights paticularly). Changing the settings only usually seems to change the Hue lol.
Its a mobile phone, not a digital camera.
People think that the megapixels mean its going to compare to a real camera but nothing could be further from the truth. The megapixles basically mean how big the image is. The quality is still down to the cmos sensor, lens type (in this case crappy plastic). Focus ability etc.
The artemis is a phone/PDA, not a camera. Infact no phone is a camera, they all have flaws.
Yep, not the best camera in my experience...
I assumed that like other phones you could still take pics at 2MP in L (640x480) to keep the file size down and still get a reasonable photo. Alas, the L (640x480) picture quality is so much poorer vs. the 2MP (1600x1200) so I'm guessing to get the best out your camera you need the 2MP mode in Super Fine.
I knew I was losing camera quality upgrading to the Orbit, but my decision was a calculated one. Yes, it's a shame the camera isn't the best, but I've gained so much more (that sounds so cheesy ).
I read in several reviews that the camera quality isn't as good as expected/thought. Is this pure hardware related? Or is it possible that the photo quality can be improved by software updates?

The photos I have been taking have been miles better than my Atrix, Craptivate, or N1 could have. I think a BIG part of the issue is that many users are not comfortable with the instant shutter yet, and are used to the old smartphone camera game of anticipating your shots by pressing the shutter button a second earlier and then settling in for the shot so the timing is right. That is not necessary with this camera, so the image will snap when they are "settling in" or moving to follow the subject and will be blurry. Also, just remember to tap the subject in the screen to focus before you snap the pic. I have noticed much better low-light pics than any of my old devices...
As to the much beleaguered argument over 8MP vs. the ("only") 5MP of the GN's camera, that refers to image capture size, meaning that the 8MP image will be able to be cropped better than the 5MP one- that's it. So if you frame your photo's correctly (how you mean the image to look), it is a non-issue because there is no need to crop (IMO).
Thanks! But, do you think a ROM update can improve photo quality? Or is that impossible?

Not impossible, but any optimizations would be software only, so things like shutter lag, UI of the camera, and filters, etc.
I actually did a blog post on the camera quality. It wasn't scientific in any way, but I came to my own conclusion that any quality issues may be down to agressive ISO and / or JPG Compression and / or Noise reduction.
All of those are fixable in software - but make your own mind up: http://www.thegreenrobotblog.co.uk/2011/11/samsung-galaxy-nexus-camera-sample.html
Does anyone else here have poor camera quality, specifically the front facing camera? I feel as if the focus is set wrong, I cannot even get a clear picture of myself or anything.
I may be wrong, but I think the FFC is fixed focus.
I tested it in the store where I bought it and it was okay even though the definition was poor, but at home in the evening with low lighting it's pretty much unusable.
IMHO, manufacturers should scrap the back camera in tablets and only put a single, good quality, front-facing one.
What can you say to camera?
I think everythin is amazing on this smartphone, but the camera is not that good.
I do not know if its because of the software. But what do you think? Pro's and Con's of the camera.
Con's:
i think OIS
OIS is missing on alot of camera sensors especially those 20mp+ phones, Its not a biggie unless the camera holder has shaky hands. Also, we can't mourn over LG's signature Laser AF technology either.
Personally, the pixel size being smaller is a big hit on the head for a 16mp sensor. Moreover, it disturbs the low light/iso photography as well. LeEco's own camera software applies some kind of smoothing filter to eat alot of detail on the compromise of noise removal.
I've taken pictures from Cyanogenmod 13 and they are alot better than EUI camera.
Ok thank you.
What is a gold camera App for shooting pictures?
5.9 for China adds EIS to camera. I am betting when we get that update pictures and video will look better.
The quality is bad when u zoom in the photos, especially in low light condition
